RIVERWOODS, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--People looking for love seek fun over finances, according to Discover's
2016 Valentine's Day Survey. The national survey included adults, ages

which was the most important factor when entering into a relationship,
40 percent chose fun and adventure, followed by physical attraction at
29 percent, financial stability at 19 percent and starting a family at
12 percent.

The survey also shows that once in a relationship, people place a higher
value on their partner's finances as their relationship gets more
serious. Among those dating, 59 percent consider their significant
other's financial stability to be very or extremely important. Once
engaged, that level of importance jumps to 82 percent.

Engaged couples also communicate more about their finances, with 44
